LUGR Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 It's funny how every 'occupy' set looks just like a trashed bum camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Blum Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I think you might be thinking of wax-wood. Not the same thing. Yeah, i think the Powell slick thing was different. I remember skating those Powell blanks for years. It was usually a blue stained one. 3. Those things were so heavy and overpriced. I remember then being upwards of $60 at a time when the average deck was around $45. Some companies would replace the 7th ply with the slickbottom nylon, to save weight, which just made your board that much easier to break. I was probably under 90lbs at the time and had a World Industries Jovantae Turner board and cracked it. I was happy to see that fad go. Just my opinion. It's designed to smooth out finished concrete. It takes about 30 min to smooth out a good sized chunk of ledge enough to where it's good to skate. Keep going, and you can get the concrete smooth enough to where it gets sketchy when you wax it. Weird, they were usually only 5 bucks more than the normal decks at my local shop and I dont remember them being much heavier, although i rode some pretty wack setups back then. And yeah, I've used those concrete stone things before, but I definitely didnt know about them in 91. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12packprophet Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I'm all for that occupy movement and all, but I would have screamed on that nut ass bitch and punched any dude who tried to play hero. I also broke my ankle back in 96 doing exactly what he's doing at 0:34. On the same ledge that he's doing it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 This "occupy" thing seems to have had good intentions for the first week, but (at least here in Denver) has turned into an impromptu hippie commune. The only kids left are the ones that would otherwise be following a jam band if some other cause wasn't available. Back in my old guy days, the slick board referred to a regular board with an additional laminate of some plastic material as the bottom ply. It didn't take long for companies like World to realize they could save money by eliminating the 7th ply in favor of the slick layer. I suppose it marginally decreased friction, but you still couldn't really skate curbs and ledges you normally wouldn't be able to. After 1995, I came to the conclusion that gimmicks were gimmicks, and if you couldn't do it with a standard wooden board, you should go faster or practice more. ps... The other thing we'd do is go to the local scrap metal yard and recover a long enough piece of angle iron for about $10. You can affix that to basically anything with a couple tubes of Liquid Nails. If you want something more permanent, all you need is a cordless drill, a masonry bit of the proper size, and some cheap concrete anchors and bolts from Home Depot. Never skate a broken, cracked curb again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I wouldn't be able to skate that thing in fear of falling. Dope looking, but shit, I'd always have that 10' drop in the back of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12packprophet Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 ^That's why there's fencing around it to prevent you from falling. I'd probably still be holding back though regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
